Hi Davo, just checked the final results, see thay clawed back a few goals. Looking forward to the derby grand final. Bike is going better than it's looking :D

And Grant, a house project on a laverda forum :o  Would that be in technical or general discussions? :D  And Pop looking way better without those skyscraper mirrors!

They got within a couple of kicks, with 10 minutes to go. Was a good quarter.
 
I love this thread as there are always pictures of members bikes out getting used I especially like the bikes in the last few posts
Grants Pop that looks very purposeful Robs Motodd and Bretts Cico that I had the fortune to have a look at yesterday although I didn't mind getting carted around on the back of his 3C in Sydney that bike is a ripper  :)
 
Went for a squirt around the block on the Yellow Peril; all good, didn't stuff the new coil installation.
 
I thought I was taking the SFCopy to Beezumph today, but we all know what thought did.  Turns out I'm a day late.  Cue a lovely ride around the Wolds, you can't go wrong.  Until I get a new tank there's always the post ride tank emptying session to look forward to, not.
 
NOTHING - Still under a tarp in storage and the weather is perfect for riding (Been there - Done it). I'm kinda into Jeeping the Cambrian Shield with a canoe and a fishing Rod right now.
 
Went for breakfast up Mt Mee then gave it a bath before sending it off to market...sniff....

My brain hurts, I've been following Phils Sfc wiring diagram. Made up a wooden sf frame and screwed saddles to the areas where I want the wires to go. It's a handy thing as I can put it in the vice and work at chest height.

I've been trying to lay it out so that there are removable section. To that end I should end up with a loom In 4 sections. If I need to pull off the front end, just disconnect the connector blocks and rip the front off.

Same with right controls and left. But at the moment I've only got from the tail light to the the 12 pin connector under the tank finished.

Phils diagram is pretty good, but I've added a neutral light and discarded the pilot lights to the tach and speedo. Which actually makes me wonder if it is for Sfc, as it is set up for speedo?

It has not indicators, that's good for me.

Then I just need a diagram for the ignitech and slice it in.

But, it is doing my head in as it is.

I wonder why the taillight wire needs to be sheathed? Curious.

Sorry - 'suprise' visit from the in-laws so had to change my plans. Did get the Motodd out of the garage and started though. Bit more fettling required, then hopefully if I can find a 'friendly' MOT man i'll get to the next meet

Thanks for the offer, Phil.  I do have another fiberglass tank in one of the sheds which I could have ethanol proofed or just use as is, but I'm not too keen on the shape of the other tank.  For the amount of miles I'm doing on the SFCopy this summer I may as well persevere with just draining the tank after use.  I had it coated by a lad in Norfolk (at not inconsiderable cost) but his lining just seems to have collapsed like a deflating balloon.  Needless to say he's not interested in giving a refund for his "good for life" lining.  He also did one of my Ducati tanks which is fine, but there again I always drain that tank so it hardly ever has petrol in it.
I know that Boba's fiberglass tanks are ethanol proof and so, eventually, I'll be approaching him about one of those.

I assume it's because it runs under the rear mudguard / fender and so gets hammered by rain, road grit, dead animals and bits of unlucky pedestrians.

Unless you mean electrical sheathing in which case your guess is as good as mine!
